You’ve been thinking about writing your nonfiction book for a while. Not because you lack ideas, but because you’re unsure where to begin.
Support changes everything. Your book gets clearer when you don’t do it alone.

Here's a "murdered darling" from IT SHOULD'VE BEEN YOU. 📖
For fans of The Paper Palace by Miranda Cowley Heller and Everything After by Jill Santopolo.

Of course, typing “The End” doesn’t actually mean the end. Now, I get to read it as a whole, darn the threadbare bits, and make sure the characters sound like themselves.
I’ll be living inside this story for a little while longer.

There are over 90,000 words on my screen and a very messy collection of notes sat beside me. The first draft of book four of the Haven Chronicles is complete.
#AmWritingFantasy #FirstDraft #AuthorLife #Editing
I did it!
I made it to the "oh no oh god my book sucks" phase of my first draft!
So happy to be here, I hope it doesn't last forever. 😅

Writing starts imperfect. Editing turns ideas into powerful stories.

Wrote some thoughts as I go into Act 3 of my first novel on my substack. I'm mostly singing into the void over there, which is not a bad thing tbh. But if you are interested in my ramblings as I write my first book, here they are!

And with that, we're in Act 3. My first draft is messy, inconsistent, and there is SO much work to do to distinguish my character voices. And I'm already so proud of it. 55k words in, closing in on the finish here!

Your story isn't bad.
It's just not fully shaped yet.
And sometimes, you're too close to see what needs fixing.

Why do I keep insisting on banging my head against a wall with this tournament story, when I have a completed outline for my original idea sitting right here?
#writing #firstdraft #outline
I played the crooked deal as if it were straight,
And watched the table’s pity curdle into awe,
When I trumped my own misfortune,
With a patience none of them had drawn.

We are a species obsessed with the “there.”
We treat our “here” like a bus station we tolerate until the real life starts.

#WritingCommunity #Writing #AmWriting #WriteSky #FirstDraft
Wrote 241 words today (I'm at 55550, was tempted to write just 5 more words) and finished typing up my MC's notes. I'm very close to finished typing them all up, then I can continue writing scene descriptions.

Well it took longer than expected, (life kept getting in the way, 😅) but I am almost finished the first draft of The Desire in The Damned book 2!
There’s still a lot of editing to do but thing so how much more steady pace moving forward 😊
